About

I love architecture. I am one of those fortunate people for whom avocation and vocation are one and the same. While I still do the occasional commercial project, and cut my teeth on institutional and public projects, my great love is residential. To me, designing a simple house is an endlessly fascinating and rewarding investigation into how structure can improve people's lives and allow their dreams to become reality. I bring over 30 years of experience designing houses for people all over the country, responding to extremes of climate and site conditions, but always striving to understand and express each clients special temperament.

I love materials. Steel and glass, wood post and beam, concrete, rammed earth, stone. These are the expressive elements in my work. These establish the character of a house and respond to site and climate.

I love the interaction between the built environment and the natural environment of the site.

I love working with people to help them achieve their dreams.

I love responsible sustainable design.

I love architecture.
